Lagos State Government Moves to Ban Protest Imposes 24-hour Curfew.

Lagos State Police Command Tuesday declared that no protest or gathering or procession under whatever guise would henceforth be permitted within the state.

The command, in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the #EndSAR protest has been hijacked by hoodlums who want to run down the state.

He explained that the police command would resist such state of anarchy, unrest and brouhaha with all powers within the ambit of the law.

“Due to the new development of violent attacks on police officers and men and formations including innocent Nigerians in Lagos  State, and the 24-hour curfew imposed by Lagos State Government with effect from 4pm of today (October 20), Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that henceforth no protest or gathering or procession under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.

“In the light of the above, all security agencies have deployed adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.

“In the same vein, the command regrets to confirm the setting ablaze of Orile Police State today at about 10am, where some of our policemen were  critically injured and unconfirmed reports state that one of them is dead.

“It’s crystal clear that the #EndSARS protest has been hijacked by hoodlums who want to run down the state and the police command will resist such state of anarchy, unrest and brouhaha with all powers within the ambit of the law.

“While the command is resolute in the sustenance of human rights and democratic tenets, the general public is hereby warned to comply with the curfew and desist from any act of violence in the state as the command will resist such in totality,” said the statement.
